Ford GT carbon-fibre wheel design

In an effort to reduce weight and improve performance even further, Ford has introduced an all-new carbon-fibre wheel. The new Ford GT carbon-fibre wheel design offers enhancements to Ford’s original design, which made its debut on the 2015 Shelby GT350R Mustang.

“Ford was the innovator as the first to offer a mass-produced carbon fiber wheels as a standard offering on Shelby GT350R Mustang. Now, Ford GT will offer the next generation in carbon fiber wheels, with an advanced resin and fiber technology that gives our designers more freedom, while also showcasing the structure of the material’s weave.” – Dave Pericak, Ford Performance global director

Why choose carbon-fibre wheels?

Ford’s carbon-fibre wheels offer several advantages that set them apart from traditional aluminum wheels. They help reduce the overall weight of the vehicle, which improves a number of driving elements, such as:

• Better acceleration and braking
• Enhanced suspension action
• More dynamic performance
• Reduced inertia by 25%
• Improves consistent contact with road surface
• Quieter ride
• Better overall ride quality

When will the Ford GT carbon-fibre wheels be available?

The all-new carbon-fibre wheel design will be available on the new Ford GT. Shoppers can choose from two distinct finishes—either a matte or glossy clearcoat. The finishes match additional carbon finishes on the sills, fascia, and extractor of the all-new Ford GT.
